I can drive our robot with hand gestures. Push=forward pull=backward etc.

yeah, the video was blocked here too. but great idea and concept.

Very Kool Dave... I iwshed I had time to even try that out.

Re: Driving a robot with a Wii Nunchuck
 

That is pretty neat, but how do we know you're not using a regular controller off-screen?

Re: Driving a robot with a Wii Nunchuck
 

Because WildStang has a thing for irregular control setups. ;)

Re: Driving a robot with a Wii Nunchuck
 

Our team had thought of this as well, on the topic of intuitive control, but it was decided that the good old joystick shall suffice just fine.

We also passed around the idea for stability/autonomous of using the Nunchuck on the robot with the handy I2C port on the DSC. This idea also faltered, as we came to the conclusion that we do not need that type of sensor inputs for our automagic functions this year.:rolleyes:

Well done Wildstang, that's really neat!

Unfortunately, with the way the I2C support was implemented on the crio, I don't think you can use it to talk to a Nunchuck. The Nunchuck requires that you send a single byte and then read back 6 bytes. The crio only lets you read 4 bytes at a time and insists on sending an address byte before each read. At least, that's what I gathered from reading/using the I2C code in WPIlib.

I didn't know wii nunchucks has accelerometers in them haha well wayyyy cool dude:cool:

Re: Driving a robot with a Wii Nunchuck
 

If it didn't use accelerometers, what would it use?

Simply fantastic - sounds like a CMP Control Award winner to me!

Re: Driving a robot with a Wii Nunchuck
 

Is this actually being used on the Wildstang bot for competition, or was this just a cool project?

Re: Driving a robot with a Wii Nunchuck
 

You crazy motorola people and your freescale processors... :rolleyes:

Interesting idea to make a USB device have the same report descriptor as the joysticks to fool the operator station.

Cool! :D

We couldn't get around the obstacle of "no bluetooth", so we abandoned our "minority report" project. Now we just use it for games..

Re: Driving a robot with a Wii Nunchuck
 

wow, that is cool. can we see the code for accessing it?

Re: Driving a robot with a Wii Nunchuck
 

was that programmed in windriver or labview?
